One NDP'er, in responding to Dix's forging of a document and resigning in disgrace, told us that good employees just do those things for their bosses. And unlike Campbell's drunk driving in Hawaii Dix's attempt to obstruct justice was done when he was on duty serving as Chief of Staff. And yet the NDP'ers on here are quite okay with what Dix did while Christy Clark gets her picture taken while announcing the opening of a hospital wing and she's vilified. Go figure.
Dix testified under oath that he created the memo in Sep or Oct 1998,the police raid of Clarks house wasn't until March 2 1999,Hardly obstruction of justice .Unless you base your theory on an emotional feeling and unproven allegation that Dix was lying.And it has never been proven he is lying. If that is all it takes for someone to be guilty and a criminal on this forum,then equally you would have to admit that Christy Clark is guilty as sin in that she leaked confidential cabinet information in the corrupt sale of BC rail,and has been lying about it and covering it up ever since..
The only thing that we do know for sure is that Gordon nCampbell was convicted of driving drunk,taking the lives of everyone he passed into his own drunken hands.Convicted and on record ,yet the Liberals never took it seriously,nor did he see fit to step down.

That is just not right.
Maybe before we start making follow-up comments to an earlier post about someone having been "convicted of theft", we should determine the validity of the post.

Urbane wrote:Slander Dix? It's only slander if it's not true. While the Skytrain ticket issue is one thing, and even the shenanigans we witnessed with the NDP leadership race another thing, and the breaking of the rules in a byelection yet another thing, but it's hard to overlook Dix backdating of that document when he was serving as Chief of Staff. It speaks to his character but as I say it really doesn't matter how serious the offence is because the NDP'ers on here would forgive Dix if he murdered someone and they'd tell us it was not as serious as Premier Clark having her picture taken at a public event. Which speaks to the character of some of the NDP'ers on here.
But the Liberal shenanigans surrounding Christy Clarks leadership race is ok.Signing up cats,and non existent hockey teams.Breaking election laws when during the by election on voting day Christy Clark showed up to the polling station with sandwiches to pass out in attempts to by votes,and that is ok with the Liberals.Speaking of failing the character and integrity test that Jim shepherd is so fond of.Christy Clark was elected president of the SFU student society but was forced to resign after it was found out she CHEATED to win the University fined her to which she refused to pay and dropped out in a huff.But all that is a ok with the Liberals.

maple, you have to understand the liberal sheeple hypocrisy mindset, attack the opposition of things they themselves do and worse but are conveniently ignored.

Re: Give Christy A(nother) Chance?
I've been very critical of the Liberal government on here. Many times. So I'm always amused by those of you NDP'er on here who see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil when it comes to the NDP. Dix did nothing wrong you tell us by backdating that memo and yet he was forced to resign and even he now says that he "owns the mistake." The NDP'ers on here can't even acknowledge the bleedingly obvious. And then we have NDP'ers on here labelling posters "sheeple" or "hypocrites" because we disapprove of Dix's actions. Oh, the irony . . .

Re: Give Christy A(nother) Chance?
We know both parties stink of malfeasance. Dix forgets to get a Skytrain ticket. Gordy forgets it is illegal to drive drunk. Dix backdates a memo for his boss (but admits to it later), the Liberals provide subpoenaed documents to the Court that they have completely redacted (and continue to feed their lawyers with millions in tax dollars to keep fighting the fight). And on and on it goes. You say you’ve been critical of the Liberal government but are still prepared to vote for them. All you’ve done is find a way to rationalize to yourself that voting for one group of criminals is better than the other. That is truly ironic.

Re: Give Christy A(nother) Chance?
and yet you continue to defend the malfeasance or at least conveniently ignore it while bringing up the ndp indiscretions of 15 to 20 years ago! it is what is happening NOW that is important. to re-elect these idiots for another 4 more years would be criminal....but then again as someone else continually says.... we deserve the government we continually elect and re-elect!
i expect that all three kelowna ridings will re-elect the liberal continuing the tradition that keeping ones head in the sand is far better than electing the socialist hordes

Actually, I think you missed what I thought was a fairly clearly stated point that neither choice is acceptable to me. I admit I had considered supporting the NDP just as a vote against the current corrupt regime, but I have recently been reminded that the NDP are indeed no better (no worse, but no better). I refuse to vote for the perpetuation of the status quo and continual re-election of "governments we deserve". Fortunately for me, I will be voting in a riding where the Liberal candidate has as much chance of being elected as humankind does at halting global climate change.

"maple leaf"
If you consider loosing your sky train ticket a criminal offence to be black balled for life,equally comparing that to other offences,like parking tickets,etc ,would probably exclude everyone in Canada.Really though the only criminal on record is Gordon Campbell,convicted of driving drunk,taking into his hand the lives of everyone he passed.And the Liberal party didn't think that warranted a Premiere from stepping down.
If that is the best story DIX and counsel can come up with stick with it.
If you steal pens from work, you will also be the type to steal what ever is easily taken. Look at the crew on the Senate..as a example can you define fraud!! Fraud I believe is still a Criminal Offence in Canada.
This is what we have running our country or would you want them to??

So show me any prove you have where something was stolen by Dix.Remember in Canada you are innocent until proven guilty.He stated he bought a day pass on sky train and when asked for it discovered he lost it.Prove other wise and I'll stop defending the allegations.
